Gil Freitas is back to compete in Rali da Madeira with an Alpine A110 RGT and aims to "fight for a place in the top ten. That would be great. I was out of action for almost a year and last week we were in Ponte de Lima to get back into the swing of things, but unfortunately we didn't finish due to a breakdown in the car. I am keen to take part in the Rally because it is such a great event. We will have many opponents in our group because this is a very popular race and one that drivers like to be part of. We are prepared and I just hope it doesn't rain because with the RGTs we can't carry spare tyres in the car like the other competitors. That limits us."

The driver started rallying in 2013 with an Opel Kadett GT/E and in the same year quickly switched to an Opel Ascona 400. The following season, he started driving a Porsche 997 GT3, which he kept until 2016 and with which he was national champion of the group in 2015 and won the AMAK trophy between 2014 and 2016. In 2017, he drove a Citroën DS3 R5, but the following year he returned to Porsche, this time with a 991 GT3. In 2024, he finished tenth in Rali da Madeira with an Alpine A110 RGT, which he is driving again this year.
